The distinction between the senses "sink or hang downward; sag" and "slowly become limp; bend gradually" does not seem clear. The first sense covers both the static and dynamic possibilities (position or motion), so the only thing the second sense seems to add is the notion of slowness or gradualness. I would propose either merging these senses or adding relevant citations to instantiate the second sense. Aabull2016 (talk) 00:17, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- I removed "sink and" from the definition. Both senses 1 and 2 are IMO in widespread use, not worth an RfV, though citations would improve the entry. DCDuring (talk) 00:24, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- If someone would like to make it clearer that the first sense is static and the second dynamic, that would be much more useful than citations IMO. DCDuring (talk) 00:30, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- And by the way, DCDuring has cited this. Kiwima (talk) 01:31, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks very much for your work on this, DCDuring. I've moved a couple of the citations added earlier now that I know the static/dynamic distinction is intended. I agree that it would be nice to find a clearer way to express that. Aabull2016 (talk) 21:57, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
